11th Frame 11.2.18

By Bill Ryan

This week another page on the calendar was turned and we are heading into the holiday season, which also means the weather will be turning colder and the bowling getting hotter.

And there is nothing hotter than the annual city tournament which kicks off Nov. 11 with the traditional kick-off with the Squad of Champions. The team event continues through Nov. 21. Doubles and singles take the spotlight in December. Contact Al-Mar for squad times and to reserve your spot in the tournament for your shot to earn the prestigious city tournament title.

Speaking of hot, get your hot pink ready for the annual Bowling for Boobs charitable event on Sunday. This fund-raising tournament supports Susan G. Komen breast cancer charity. Details at Al-Mar.

Speaking of holidays, get your turkeys on the lanes ready for the holiday associated with turkeys for the annual Thanksgiving no-tap tournament on Nov. 22. The event features a $25 entry fee and as always is held at 7 p.m. on the evening of Thanksgiving.

As a bonus as a preliminary event Al-Mar allows bowlers to win a free turkey by bowling a turkey. From Sunday through Nov. 17 any bowler who bowls three strikes in a row (turkey) will be entered into a drawing for a free edible turkey. One league bowler and one open bowler will win the bird. The winners will be posted on Nov. 18 on Al-Mar’s Facebook page.

In addition to the Doubles and Singles in December, the annual Dean Moosman Memorial Team Tournament presented by the Northwest Ohio Bowling Proprietors will be held Dec. 1 at 11 a.m. Breakfast will be served at 10 a.m. The winning team is guaranteed to win $1,000. The event also allows the champions to award scholarship money to youth bowlers.

Get your teams together and celebrate the upcoming season on the lanes.
